2011 Junior Review

It was a very successful 2011 for our divisional boys and girls teams. Of our 21 teams (U12-U16) competing in the various Football Brisbane competitions we had 6 premiership winning teams, 14 teams featuring in the final series, 10 progressing through to the grand finals and 6 teams winning their Grand Finals. As a result of the placing of our U12 Division 1, U13 Division 1 and Under 16 BJL teams in the 2011 competition Redlands United Football Club will have teams in the 2012 Brisbane Junior League (BJL) competition in the U13, U14* and U17 age groups.

*Our inclusion in the Under 14 2012 BJL competition will be subject to the Football Brisbane play-off rule and Redlands United will have to play-off for the final position with Peninsula Power

Football Brisbane Competition Rules in 2012

There have been significant changes to the age requirements for junior players written into the Football Brisbane Rules of Competition (ROC) for the 2012 season.

Boys

Players, playing in all BJL and Division 1 competitions, must attain the appropriate age for the competition they wish to play in during the Year of Competition. Players will not be permitted to play up into these competitions unless they qualify for and have been granted "Exceptional Circumstances" status.

In Division 2 and below, players are permitted to play one year up into these competitions, subject to the 'composite team' rules, with parental/guardian approval.

Girls

Football Brisbane recognises that, because of numbers, the "girls only" competition requires special consideration. Accordingly there are minor variations to the age requirements/restrictions for "girls only" competitions.

U17

As for boys, although girls may play one year up into this competition, with parental/guardian consent and upon application to, and approval from Football Brisbane. Football Brisbane's decision on all applications will be final.

U12 to U15 inclusive

Girls may play one year up into these competitions with parental/guardian approval.
